@nuku87It is still available as the car did not meet the listed Reserve.  If anyone is interested, feel free to reach out. As of right now, she'll stay tucked away in the garage. Thank you.

@beeker1320The rear of the soft top always takes a few seconds to engage on all R129's. It will slowly depressurize and then send a signal to the soft top ECU. It works with a magnetic sensor located above the windshield.

@sebaf1When our family purchased this SL600 in 2002  from the Mercedes Dealer, a database search concluded this was 1 of 35 examples. I simply decided to include that information if anyone / its next owner was curious. I agree though, the condition speaks volumes. Good luck bidding !

@mokh77I see what you are talking about. Thats not
damage or rust. It seems that a black garbage bag on the
road must have stuck onto the heat shield. That should
easily be removable and my apologies that that was not
done so prior to the listing of the vehicle. I will try and get
you a close of picture of it later.

21k-Mile 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL600 Sport

MBSince85 said:

@mokh77can you please tell me which photo # you are referring to ? There is no damage or rust to speak of on the heatshields of the car. Here is another photo directly of the heatshields that can be seen. https://ibb.co/Yd5sYWH

@mokh7712 additional undercarriage photos have been uploaded when the car was on the lift

21k-Mile 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL600 Sport

MBSince85 said:

@mokh77Completely understandable. I can assure you the car is as clean on the underside as it is around the body. I have messaged Blakley from @theMBmarket personally to upload an additional 12 photos (24 undercarriage pics total) I just submitted last night to the gallery. Hopefully they will be added soon. Thank you for your interest and patience. 

21k-Mile 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL600 Sport

MBSince85 said:

@mokh77Hello. I have submitted an additional 12 photos of the undercarriage to the google file link I was assigned by @theMBmarket. They should be adding them to the listing for viewing momentarily. Thank you.

MBSince85 said:

@DIYcarguyHello ! This is a special car that truly shaped what a combination of modern and classic design / engineering can achieve.  In 1999, only 557 V12 R129's were produced for the entire World. That being said, with the options that this particular example has ( SL1, SL2, Multicontour Seats), in this color combination, including the Orion Gray soft top, there were only 34 other examples produced exactly like it World Wide. 

Fast Forward 23 years later, who knows how many are left.

@ClutchHello, and thanks for tuning into this auction. Requested videos will be taken & uploaded when I get back from work next week. In the meantime, I do have a walkaround / suspension operation video I will be uploading today. Yes - there are some slight marks / scratches on the Driver Side seat adjustment switch panel as shown.

@equinepeddler Thank you ! Its a dream to drive, especially with the multicontour seats. 

21k-Mile 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL600 Sport

MBSince85 said:

@sushipasteThank you for your interest in this beautiful SL600. The front passenger shock developed slight seepage which prompted a brand new factory replacement to be installed. An operational video displaying the suspension raising and lowering will be added to the gallery shortly.

I would like to also clarify that the brakes in the front and rear were not only " checked " as stated in this auctions listing, but also just replaced using factory GENUINE MB parts.

MBSince85 said:

@gollihersHello and thank you for your interest in this S550. Yes, the two front seats do have the dynamic bolsters & seat massaging functions. It is controlled via the center command screen using the dial selector.

MBSince85 said:

@JCarinci thanks for the response, and ofcourse - Im very sorry for your loss. That does lead me to have another question however. Since it was just titled back in December of 2021, who’s name is the title in now ?

@APSloan1Hello, the timing chains and guides were just inspected and did not need replacement. They present themselves in “like new” condition and are still bright in color. There is no slack in the chain either. Another good sign of health would be from examination of the cold start video as well ( the car was sitting for 2 weeks unstarted at that point too ). Thank you. 

NO RESERVE: One-Owner 1990 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL

MBSince85 said:

@APSloan1Yes, all power options / functions are working. Seats, radio, mirror, vanity mirrors, sunroof, windows, lights, wheel telescopic function, etc. 

Climate control works as it should as well under all settings, Including the air recirculation function. 

Thank you for your interest and good luck bidding

@DaddyschakHello and thank you for your interest. Yes, the AC has been converted to R134. It blows extremely cold and cools down the cabin effortlessly during the hot summer months here in NY.

MBSince85 said:

@Yman67  Hello and thank you for your interest in this car, it truly is a beautifully kept example. In regards to comparison with the W140 S420, I have owned both. Both are great cars but I simply preferred the more simplistic aspect that the W126 chassis offers. It is less refined in a more nostalgic and raw Mercedes-Benz way which we all love. More road feel, and definitely receives more looks. It simply sets itself apart from the crowd.  

In regards to the recent maintenance, I have my own private mechanic that I have been using for over 25 years. He is a master MB technician with over 40 years of experience and only uses OEM MB parts, which were used during the recent refurbishment on this car as well.
 Thank you.

@RolandHello and thank you for your interest in this car. There is NO rust on the chassis nor the frame. 
Upon renewal of registration, I simply decided to opt for the newer style NY license plates.

MBSince85 said:

@LoudounPrimeHello, Thank you for your kind words in regards to this beautiful 420SEL. I am away for the weekend but I can comment that the B-pillar leather is fantastic without any cuts, tears or rips. The radio works as it should and provides a high clarity of audible playback without any popping or crackling within the stereo systems output. I will be sure to add a cold-start and test drive video along with radio operation when I come back from my vacation on Monday. Thank you
